A Fortran program for fast and compact processing of clinical radiotherapy data.

I P Coles, R G Dale

    Computers in Biology and Medicine
    |January 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    A new Fortran IV program facilitates patient registry operation on radiotherapy minicomputers. This system efficiently stores coded clinical data, simplifying data entry and retrieval for operators.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Informatics
    • Radiotherapy
    • Software Development

    Background:

    • Radiotherapy departments require efficient patient data management.
    • Existing systems may lack flexibility or be difficult to operate.
    • Minicomputers are common in radiotherapy treatment planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a comprehensive and flexible patient registry system.
    • To enable operation on commonly available radiotherapy minicomputers.
    • To simplify data entry and retrieval for operators.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a set of Fortran IV programs.
    • Implemented a system for efficient storage of clinical data.
    • Utilized a coded unit format for data representation.

    Main Results:

    • The patient registry system operates effectively on radiotherapy minicomputers.
    • Clinical data can be stored efficiently using coded units.
    • The coding format minimizes keyboard operations for data management.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed Fortran IV programs provide a comprehensive and flexible patient registry solution.
    • The system enhances efficiency in managing radiotherapy patient data.
    • Inexperienced operators can easily manage data with the new coding format.
